Just recently, I found out that there was a worm travelling the internet and messing up sites that use phpGedView. I have finally gotten my site upgraded and back to working as usual. It is funny how if one doesn’t stay on top of things on an almost daily basis, that one can get pretty far behind on regular maintenance and the like.

I must not have looked at the phpGedView section of my site in a while. When I went there today, I was greeted with a ton of warning messages about various variable and PHP files. I was left scratching my head for a while. I then remembered that my hosting provider had just upgraded to PHP 4.4.0 recently. I figured that this had to be the problem and looked into it on the support forums for phpGedView.

Lo-and-behold that was the problem. After doing some file editing and some changes, things are up and running smoothly again. Apparently, this is not an issue with PHP 5, but I do not have access to that at the moment. If there are any issues viewing things, let me know.

I finally got around to upgrading phpGedView to the latest stable version (3.3.5). There were some minor changes in the file structure, etc, but the end result is nothing real different than before. I did change some things on the initial welcome page, however.
